I am using a piece of yellow pine wood to assist in both the opening and the
closing of our 2720. It is a 1" x 4" x 6'.
I attached a piece of do-it-all metal to one end of the wood with a 1/4" bolt.
The functionality is shown in the pic, as the metal grabs the latching handle,
and the pulling open of the latch can be done from a more comfortable position.
The wood also fits easily into the closing stirrup, as shown in the pic, but I
will offer that without an explanation or suggestion.
Happy Camping!
